Laura Dubin Trio: Live At The Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival
by Roger Farbey
Despite the cartoonish CD cover illustration, depicting a smiling Laura Dubin seated at a grand piano, and perhaps giving the false impression that this is a jokey album, the music surely proves otherwise. This ambitious double album of a live performance on July 2nd, 2016 contains many surprising and engaging pieces. Opening with Steve Allen's This ...
LEAGUS (Herborg Rundberg & Kristian Svalestad Olstad): Lea Áigi
by Mark Sullivan
LEAGUS is a Norwegian duo made up of pianist Herborg Rundberg and guitarist Kristian Svalestad Olstad. Together they make music that ranges from minimalist atmospherics to frenetic free-noise.

Tania Stavreva: Rhythmic Movement
by Karl Ackermann
Pianist and New York City resident Tania Stavreva is a cross-genre trailblazer in the vein of a Stefano Battaglia. More than being at home in both classical and jazz, the Bulgarian native has found an approach that--when desired--connects elements of each form and adds her own methods, resulting in a unique hybrid. The twenty-something artist has ...
Alessio Forlani: Alameda Gardens
by Glenn Astarita
After a few spins, imagery of Florence, Italy guitarist Alessio Forlani playing a supercharged Ferrari with strings came to mind. And while there isn't a surfeit of background information on the Internet, it appears that he's also heavily involved with studio processes and production activities. Here, the guitarist kindles similarities to longtime rock guitar hero Joe ...

Sara Bielanski: From the Heart

This is vocalist Sara Bielanski's debut album, and for it she brought together a group of fine musicians with connections to the Berklee School of Music and The New England Conservatory, institutions where for well over more than a half-century many of our most outstanding players have gotten their jump start. Bielanski herself is a fine ...
Koh: Seneca
by Luca Canini
Dal Giappone via New York, la conferma del talento, singolare e cristallino, della pianista Koh Ohtera, in arte semplicemente Koh. Pianista e cantante per l'esattezza, spirito inquieto e dispettoso, improvvisatrice fuori dagli schemi e sopra le righe. Alle prese con un disco, Seneca, che non è facile inquadrare al primo ascolto. Perché se ...
Alex Jønsson: Heart Of Gold: Live In Aarhus
by Mark Sullivan
Recorded live at a living room concert, Heart of Gold presents an intimate portrait of Danish guitarist/composer Alex Jønsson and his trio. The title tune opens the set: it's not the well known Neil Young song, but it does have an Americana tinge. Drummer Andreas Skamby sets up a pillow of sound using mallets, bassist Jens ...
Matt Ulery's Loom/Large: Festival
by Vic Albani
Normalmente (e specialmente in Italia) quando un Ente culturale pubblico commissiona un lavoro ad un musicista il risultato è quasi sempre--per dirla con Totò -una vera ciofeca. A Chicago per fortuna, non è così e quindi Festival, nuovo lavoro del prolifico contrabbassista e tubista Matt Ulery già titolare di ben sei lavori discografici alle spalle, è ...
